A challenge coin with a purpose.

The First Responder Forward Challenge Coin combines the tradition of the challenge coin with direct access to mental health resources for first responders across the country.

A scannable QR code on the coin connects users to the First Responder Forward mental health resource network, helping make support easier to find when it is needed.

PART OF THE 10–90 INITIATIVE

The 10–90 Initiative is a project of First Responder Forward focused on helping first responders better understand mental health, recognize when support may be beneficial, and locate resources that understand the unique culture and demands of public safety.

The challenge coin is another way to put those resources directly into the hands of the people they are intended to serve.

First Responder Forward and the 10–90 Initiative provide educational and resource-navigation information and are not mental health treatment providers. The challenge coin and QR code are intended to help individuals locate resources and do not provide diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, or emergency services. If you or someone else is experiencing an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency or crisis service.
